Milky Way Repo is cool little sci-fi book. Funny characters, plenty of adventure and a must read for the holidays!

More detailed review…

I’ve got this book from the LibraryThing early reviewer / member giveaway program. I think this is the first book from Michael Prelee and I must say a very good start!

We follow a team who’s job is to reclaim unpaid starship at all cost : the Milky Way Repossessions company. Obviously, nothing is simple and they will face quite a bit of challenge to complete their latest contract.

The story is a good mix of science-fiction, adventure, action and a bit of intrigue. No heavy stuff here, no hard science-fiction and complex language. It’s more Firefly than Asimov.

Every characters in the book is distinctive. Most of them are funny / likable and the author did a very good job to introduce them : you feel like you’re being part of their team.

A quick read and I will definitively keep an eye on the author. A follow-up please ? 4****

I’ve got this book from early reviewer program and I must admit I was a bit surprise.
A couple of book you get from early reviewer program are short and are written by “early” author. It’s OK because I feel it’s one of the goal : giving feedback to young author.

This book does not feel like that.
It’s actually a full length novel. Good description, good dialog and proper language structure… 🙂

The story is interesting, not overly original but it’s a good read. The action takes place on multiple planet and the author put in place a political background fitting the story.

The character were fine but I would have taken a bit more background for a couple of them. I feel some characters like Khalida and Zhao could have been a bit more developed (their past mostly and additional context for Zhao).

A good and easy sci-fi book to read and I would gladly pay for a sequel.
Adding the author to my checklist…
